Mirrorshades

Mirrorshades is an anthology of Science Fiction writing that that was edited by Bruce Sterling that came out in 1986.  It's got a vision of the future in a story called "Freezone," by John Shirley, that is very interesting considering it was written in 1985:

     "The States had already been in trouble.  The nation had lost its economic initiative in the 1980s and 1990s:  its undereducated and badly trained workers, its corrupt, greedy unions, and its lower manufacturing standards made US industry unable to compete with the Asian and South American manufacturing booms.  The EMP credit dissolve kicked the nation over the rim of recession into the pit of depression.  And made the rest of the world laugh.  The Arab terrorist cell responsible--hard-core Islamic Fundamentalists--had been composed of seven men.  Seven Men crippled a nation.
     But America still had its enormous military spread, its electronics and medical innovators.  And the war economy kept it humming.  Like a man with cancer taking amphetamines for that last burst of strength.  While the endless malls and housing projects, built cheaply and in need of constant upkeep, got shabbier, uglier, and trashier by the day.  And more dangerous.
     The States just weren't safe for the rich anymore.  The resorts, the amusement parks, the exclusive affluent neighborhoods all crumbled under the attrition of perennial strikes and persistent terrorist attacks.  The swelling mass of the poor--growing since the 1980s--resented the recreations of the rich.  And the middle-class buffer was shrinking to insignificance."
